Portable toilets work by flushing water from a hidden water tank, that’s fitted inside the toilet, or it uses toilet chemicals from the holding tank. As portable toilets don’t need to be connected to the mains, the toilet will hold all its waste and liquids. The waste is then carried away to a tank that’s secured underneath the cabin and eventually broken down by chemicals within the tank. Toilets. We can’t live without them, and when we need them most, we’re scrambling around looking for the closest one! Thankfully, whether you’re attending an event or working on a construction site, toilets are a must, and in most cases, a legal requirement. So, next time you’re queuing up to use the loo, remember this handy guide on how portable toilets work to spark up an unlikely conversation. What are the technical components of a portable toilet? Interestingly, Portable toilets are made up of four main components, which are: Toilet Seat Holding Tank Flushing Mechanism Pressure System Let’s dive a bit deeper into each component. Toilet Seat We don’t need to explain this one. However, we do recommend closing the lid after use! Holding Tank The holding tank of a portable toilet is exactly what it says on tin! It holds all the waste and is placed underneath the seat of the portable toilet, it also holds chemicals inside that help to break down any solid waste, eradicate germs and get rid of any bad smells that may be in the holding tank. Flushing Mechanism The flushing mechanism within the portable toilet is simply the process after you flush away your waste. Portable toilets either flush through toilet chemicals or water from a tank. Pressure System The pressure system works alongside the flushing mechanism to support the waste being moved into the tank, where pressure is created that circulates the water or chemicals through the pipe of the portable toilet and into the holding tank. What happens to the waste? A lot of people who use portable toilets are unaware of what happens to the waste inside. The waste will be emptied by the company that you’re renting your portable toilets from, and the process should be done on a weekly basis on your construction site, and in some cases on a daily basis for large events to prevent waste from overflowing. Your hire company will extract the waste from an output hole by using a large vacuum to suck out all the waste. The waste will be transferred into a separate tank to be exported to an Environment Agency Waste site. Don’t stop here, find out more about our portable toilet servicing. What type of portable toilets are there? When looking at portable toilets, you may not understand the difference between the various portable toilet options that are out there. The most common portable toilet is the Standard Portable Toilet, which is a very easy piece of equipment to use as they act as simple everyday toilets and are easily accessible. Most portable toilets are very similar, however disabled portable toilets are the most unique with different features to accommodate those with disabilities. These portable toilets ensure that people with disabilities have a designated toilet and prevents them from having to look for an accessible area to go the toilet.

Wedding planning is such an exciting experience. There are so many things to consider––all of the details, both big and small, matter. If you are planning to host an outdoor wedding, there are many technicalities to consider. Some important details you’ll need to make decisions about include what types of food and drink to serve guests, how to arrange tables and chairs, and how to weatherproof your event. One way you can weatherproof your event is by renting a tent for your special day. Tents offer both an indoor and outdoor experience. One of the best parts of an event in a tent is that no matter what the weather is, you and your guests are protected. Tents are versatile in every way, and can easily be customized. For weddings, there are three types of tents that are best suited for any kind of ceremony and reception. Clear top tents If it’s not clear from the name alone, clear top tents let in the most natural light. The poles hold up a sheer top, allowing guests to sit in the sunshine or under the stars. During the day, especially if it’s sunny, additional lighting probably won’t be needed since the sun can filter through the sheer top. At night, the clear top reflects the light from within the tent, creating a magical oasis, perfect for any reception. If you’re looking for a location that aligns with a natural or earthy wedding theme, a clear top tent might be right for you. Century pole tents One of the more classical types of tents is the century pole tent. With three high peaks, century pole tents are impressive and graceful. The peaks seem to defy gravity and are beautiful to look at from both inside and out. The impressive height of the peaks creates a sense of space within the tent, expanding it and adding a sense of grandeur. Century pole tents are a great option for weddings with more traditional design and decor. Sailcloth tents If clear top and century pole tents aren’t your style, then you may want to consider sailcloth tents. A lightweight canvas that is translucent makes up the tent, allowing natural light to trickle in through the top, supplementing any other lighting and brightening the tent. Like century pole and clear top tents, sailcloth tents are extremely versatile. For a wedding with a rustic, whimsical or vintage aesthetic, a sailcloth tent would be a great complement to the decor.

Shipping containers allow businesses and individuals around the world to store, move and otherwise manage their goods and belongings securely. Standard shipping containers are designed to be fairly modular, highly portable and robustly secure, making them a great fit for most item-handling purposes. However, some projects request far greater flexibility than a normal shipping container can provide. Flat pack shipping containers can help when standard storage containers become too cumbersome to use. The five major advantages that flat pack shipping containers bring to the table are covered below in detail to help you decide if they can meet your requirements: 1. Highly Portable These types of containers are extremely easy to handle. Although flat pack shipping containers are not necessarily designed to meet ISO international shipping standards, they are still exceptionally strong and sturdy once assembled. However, they weigh substantially less overall. This makes flat pack containers a great option for building sites and terrain with low weight tolerances. Flat pack containers come disassembled as parts that can later be put together in the place you want them. This makes it possible to take flat pack containers to sites that are otherwise inaccessible by the types of vehicles needed to deliver standard shipping containers. Owing to their ability to be broken down for transport, flat pack containers take up considerably less space while in transit. This translates to significantly reduced transportation fees and drastically improved flexibility in delivery choices. You can potentially deliver a small flat pack container to its destination using your own utility vehicle as the disassembled parts are usually reasonably sized to improve portability. 2. Easy to Assemble Putting a flat pack container together can take as little as an hour for two people to complete, depending on its assembled size. Placing your flat pack container's parts as close to its intended build site as possible can help you to put it together even faster. The actual assembly process involves first erecting the frame of the container and then slotting the panels in place for the container's walls and ceiling. Bolts join the container's frame and panels together to form a sturdy structure capable of standing up to the elements and protecting whatever you choose to keep inside. 3. Very Versatile Thanks to their inherent simplicity where transportation, assembly and utility are concerned, flat pack containers can be produced for a wide variety of purposes. The walls and fittings can be designed to better fit housing needs, combined structures and more. Flat pack containers can be joined to form much larger structures and compounds fit for long-term storage and housing purposes. The modularity of each individual container makes it possible to develop large structural designs of considerable complexity relatively easily. Linking kits can even make it possible to join multiple flat pack containers into a single unit, allowing you to make use of large spaces where full-sized container delivery is not possible. 4. Easy to Take Apart Ease of assembly takes center stage with flat pack containers, but ease of disassembly is just as important and useful. The same simple construction process you must follow to put your flat pack container together can be followed in reverse to disassemble it and prepare it for extraction from its current location. This simplifies the process of cleaning up temporary installations once work on a construction site has been completed and can come in handy for many other scenarios as well. 5. Works for Both Commercial and Domestic Projects Businesses looking to provide quick, stable and effective housing for multiple on-site laborers can turn to the use of flat pack containers to do so. These types of containers work very well for such projects, owing to their lower price points and standardised dimensions. Flat pack containers also grant organizations the freedom to configure and then reconfigure structural layouts on the fly. This makes it much easier for complex, dynamic project requirements to be met without much hassle or manpower. When used by businesses as secure, extendable storage solutions, these types of containers make it possible to keep storage structures on site, yet broken down and kept out of the way when not in use. For domestic users, flat pack containers offer both short-term and long-term utility for multiple purposes. Used as domestic storage space, these containers can be assembled quickly in a favorable position, serving the same purpose as a shed in your backyard or even functioning as an extension for your garage. These containers can also be transported once they have been filled up, making moving projects a possibility at far less expense than full-sized ISO-configuration shipping containers. Flat pack shipping containers differ quite a bit from standard storage containers, but they offer many of the same benefits to those who use them, with the added bonuses of extended portability and heightened adaptability. If you or your business are considering going the flat pack route with your next project, reach out to our team here at Topindus to learn how we can help.

Portable toilets give you the opporutnity to provide attendees or guests with a toilet throughout your event. However, they are designed for 24 hours of use; then, they need to be sanitized and emptied. When your event runs over the 24-hour period, you want to keep the washrooms clean. More so, when your event runs long term, such as a week or even an entire season, you need to take extra steps to prevent smells, keep them sanitized, and stay up to code. No matter how long you have a portable restroom in use, you can keep it clean and fresh for weeks or months by doing the following: Utilize Cleaning Tablets – A cleaning tablet can be dropped at the bottom of a portable toilet. While the tablet will not clean it, it will keep away the odours and prevent germs from spreading inside your portable bathroom. Also, it gives the scent of freshness, which encourages people to use your portable toilets. Stock Supplies – To keep your portable toilet in operation, you need to ensure it is well stocked. That means keeping an eye on toilet paper, hand sanitizer levels, and air freshener. Give Them Air – Portable toilets need air to refresh. If you can, leave the door open and give it some air, because being closed and in the sunlight can make odours worse than they really are. Use air freshener, cleaning tablets, and keep the doors open when you can to keep smells at bay. Try to find a time when your potable toilets are not in use so that you can air them out appropriately. Sanitize the Vulnerable Points – One of the most overlooked portable toilet maintenance tips is sanitizing the most touched points. Certain areas of the toilet are used more than others; therefore, you want to sanitize these areas. Naturally, the company you used for your porta potty rental in Cold Lake should clean and sanitize, but you can follow up too by cleaning handles, dispensers, and toilet paper holders. Keeping your portable toilet up to par and making sure that you have adequate restrooms for your guests is not easy. Luckily, when you follow these portable toilet maintenance tips and combine them with a pumping service regularly, you have toilets that are ready to use no matter how long you have them out.

A stage truss is a piece of stage equipment which is designed to support lighting, screens, and other accessories. Stage trusses may be permanently installed, as in a theater with a trusswork system suspended from the ceiling, or they may be movable. Stage trusses are used in a variety of settings, from public parks used for concert series to opera houses, and they are constructed by a number of different companies, several of which are capable of fabricating custom trusses for specific applications. Classically, a stage truss takes the form of a box truss, which may be welded or bolted to other trusses to create a stand, or may be designed to be suspended from rigging in a building used for performances. The structural elements of the stage truss can be used as attachment points for lighting instruments, pulleys for moving performers or scenery, special effects devices like bubble makers, and monitors or screens. Stage trusses also commonly provide support for the extensive wiring and cabling used in performance, from wiring associated with individual lights on a stage truss to microphone cord. Also known as lighting racks, stage trusses are sometimes visible in the performance. People who attend outdoor concerts may have noted stage trusses over the stage and along the side of the stage, and the design of indoor venues may also allow patrons to see the trusses. These devices are usually installed with redundant safety precautions to reduce the risk of an accident caused by a falling or improperly secured truss. Since stage trusses may need to bear a great deal of weight, safety is important at the time of installation. Portable truss systems are often available for rental. A portable stage truss can be used for tasks such as setting up racks of lighting at an outdoor party, supporting a tent for a backyard wedding, or providing structural support for a booth at a trade show. Companies which specialize in events often keep a number of portable trusses in their stock and they take care of installation on site. The truss will usually have a load rating which should be carefully noted. For people and organizations who have a routine need for a stage truss, companies which manufacture theatrical equipment can be good sources for new and used trusses. Used trusses are often a great choice, because they are less expensive than new trusses and they have usually been well maintained, so they are in good shape. If a custom size or configuration is needed, the manufacturer may charge extra for custom fabrication, especially if none of its standard components will fit.

Luxurious Wedding Tents That WOW A wedding outdoor tent screams luxury when the décor is meticulous and paired to perfection with gold touches. Dig in with gold chandeliers, lanterns, and strings lights to offer enclosure and intimacy. Go the whole nine yards with dramatic ceiling installations, draperies, and candles to transform your space into a unique setting. Set the entryway of your tent for the wedding with a water fountain and steel arch to create that luxurious feel. Lights can also hang over the arch or porch for amazing effects. If you want to add some glam to your wedding, employ chair sashes, gold place cards, napkins, and flatware. Throw in some blue, ivory, and grey centerpieces, candles, holders, and hanging installations. Elegant Wedding Reception Under Big Tent To bring a big wedding tent to life, maximize space with a vibrant yet natural color palette. Make your reception venue whimsical by hanging an assortment of floral garland overhead. To impress some vibrant mood and dimension, incorporate fabrics and twinkle lights all over the tent. Tea lights, candles, Edison bulbs, twinkles, and varying lengths of candles can change the game. Now, add some color and fun by draping many traditional ribbons around the beams. Then you can create an ethereal focal point with a wall of flowers in this “wall-less” venue. This floral wall can also serve as a backdrop for swoon-worthy photos. For a large wedding tent, throw in some tonal paper lanterns, garland-rimmed chandeliers, and tall trees to dazzle your guests. Unforgettable Bohemian Wedding Celebrations Under Tents The bohemian couple wants whimsical and nature-inspired accents in their outdoor wedding tent. So, hang a floral installation or a floral arch across your reception and head table. You can incorporate blooms, succulents, feathers, and greenery for the perfect mix to draw the eye up. Consider chandeliers, drapes, and above all, a clear tent wedding reception. The wild spirit associated with clear tents will suit a wanderlust spirit as the open sides will blend whit the décor. Stun everyone with draped pillars of flowers, desert-hued rugs, brass accents, feathers, vines, and foliage at the entrance. Opt for high centerpieces with textured balloon lights to create a cozy ambiance. Keep everything else simple in an array of colors that suit your palette. Lovely Rustic Receptions Under Wedding Tent For an unforgettable rustic touch, replicate the outdoors in your wedding tent with birch and lanterns. Use the trees as beams for support while leaving the paper lanterns hanging. Upgrade your crystal chandeliers into a jaw-dropping beauty by wrapping them in trailing leaves in bed with floral halos. Take care of the floor by creating a tiled color-blocked surface. For a befitting entrance, consider a burlap or macramé entryway flanked by pots of cacti on both sides. Merge floating greenery and bare light bulbs to create a natural rustic aesthetic. Throw in some candle shelves and hanging shelf flowers to nail the look.

The parts are made of light and thin-walled profiles, with the advantage of lightweight, high strength, and less space. The components are all automated, continuous, and high-precision production. The structural specifications have the characteristics of serialization, finalization, and matching. Professional structure and complex design software can be installed by computer simulation. Factory manufacturing and site installation can be performed simultaneously with a small time difference. Above the foundation is the dry construction, no wet work. After galvanizing and coating, the steel structures have a beautiful appearance and anti-corrosion, which helps reduce the cost of enclosure and decoration. It is convenient to expand the column distance and provide larger separation space, which can reduce the story height and increase the building area (the residential area can reach 92%)—obvious advantages in adding floors, renovation, and reinforcement. Wall materials have a wide range of applications, especially the current lightweight wall panels, which use many lighting belts and have the right ventilation conditions. The indoor plumbing and electrical pipelines are all concealed in the wall and between the floors, with flexible layout and easy modification. Light steel buildings can be relocated, all materials can be recycled, no garbage is generated, and it is in line with sustainable development strategies. The light steel structure mostly adopts the steel frame structure composed of H-shaped steel, and the joints are connected by high-strength bolts (supplied by welding). The floor slab is covered with reinforced concrete on the profiled metal deck. Roof panels and exterior walls use color steel plates with thermal insulation cotton that integrate heat preservation and waterproofing. Advantages and disadvantages of Light Steel Structure House : High strength and lightweight. Uniform material and high reliability. Good plasticity and toughness. Convenient for mechanized manufacturing. Convenient installation and short construction period. Poor fire resistance. Poor rust resistance.

Light steel structure building is a kind of building system. It uses light hot-rolled or welded H-section steel, thin-wall section steel, steel plate, and steel pipe as load-bearing structures, and is enclosed with various decorative materials. The prefabricated steel building was produced in the workshop and installed on site. This structure can meet the specific use of the building and the space requirements of the lightweight, fully assembled steel structure building. The light steel structure has lightweight and uniform material, simple processing and manufacturing, a high degree of industrialization, convenient transportation and installation, saving materials, and a short construction period. The light steel structure has been widely used in general construction sites, agricultural, commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings, such as commercial warehouses, shops, garages, farmer’s markets, industrial plants, processing workshops, industrial warehouses, residential buildings, multi-story industrial plants, schools, hospitals, old buildings, and other buildings. Types of Light Steel Structure Building: Steel workshop and warehouse building Steel structure building with a width of 9-36 meters and a height of fewer than 12 meters. The primary load-bearing components of light steel workshops are composed of steel, including steel columns, steel beams, and steel structure foundations. The light steel warehouse is lightweight steel as the framework, corrugated single color sheet, or sandwich panel as the enclosure material. The components are connected by bolts, which are assembled and disassembled conveniently and quickly. Steel structure mezzanine floor The steel structure is used as the main load-bearing beam to connect the main wall or the supporting points at both ends of the shaft.The profiled floor deck is laid on the main structure, and then steel bars are laid to connect with the original structure around the planting bars, and finally, concrete is poured. Steel structure villa The main structural beams, columns, and shelf supports of the steel structure villa are composed of cold-formed thin-walled steel structures or composite beams. The steel structural components are lighter in weight, convenient for transportation, installation, assembly, disassembly, and expansion. Steel structure stairs Steel structure stairs use channel steel or H-shaped steel as ladder beams and checkered steel plates as steps. The ladder beam is the main structural component of the staircase. Railings are mostly in the form of diagonal lines parallel to the inclined beams of the stairs. It is characterized by small areas, convenient construction, random shape, and strong practicability. It can also be used for adding stories, renovation, reinforcement of old houses, areas with lack of building materials, areas with inconvenient transportation, tight construction schedules, portable demolition buildings, etc.

Tent poles are pretty durable, but they can still break or bend. It might be high winds or just accidentally stepping on one. But life happens, so what do you do if you need to replace a tent pole? This will depend in large part on your tent. Some modern tents have poles that are part of a connected system, so individual poles are hard to replace. If this is the case, you will need to order a complete replacement from the manufacturer. The plus to this is that many higher quality tents come with a lifetime warranty, so they will often replace it for free. If it is just a single pole that needs to be replaced, you can use replacement kits. These are usually fiberglass, which is heavier than aluminum but is better than having to throw your tent away. You will need to measure how long your existing pole is and cut the replacements to fit this length. Since tent poles are made up of multiple pieces that slot together, it is best to cut them all to the same length. Use a super fine hacksaw blade and cut halfway through. Then rotate the pole 90-degrees and finish the cut. Be extra careful, as you don't want the fiber glass to fray and split. To reduce the chances of the fibers fraying, wrap the part of the pole you want to keep with electrical tape just below where you are going to cut. Once all the pieces are cut, then you have to run the shock cord through each pole and connect to the end cap. I like to make a loop using a bowline knot as it fits through the middle of the poles better than a larger knot will.
